Coaster reviews

Harness Discomfort

The second worst coaster I've been on in front of Steeplechase at blackpool. Pretty terrible.

Pointless

The only thing that made this ride interesting is the pitch black. I don't think the theme was particularly well done. I would have preferred it as a nightclub coaster like it was before.

Fun Smoothness Too short Disappointing! Intensity

Swarm is a fun ride, but it doesn't do anything amazing. I find it more relaxing rather than thrilling. It's over way too quickly for the ride type.

Launch Intensity Ejectors Too short

Stealth is an immense coaster. It packs a hell of a punch in its launch, the positive Gs in its valleys, and the negative Gs at the top hat and airtime hill. It's over quickly but what it has is always brilliant fun.

First Drop Intensity Ejectors Headbanging

Saw is an incredible ride. It has some of the best ejector airtime in the UK, the drop is immense, and it is also very well themed. You are prone to hit your head a bit, but for me it rarely detracts from the experience.

Theming Inversions Smoothness

I love Nemesis Inferno. It is well themed, has a great compact layout, and is quite intense. It's also one of the smoothest coasters I've ridden. The corkscrews and zero G roll are excellent. I find it is extremely underrated.

Inversions Fun Layout Harness

I was pleasantly surprised by Colossus after hearing people complain about it. The 2 whippy corkscrews are great fun, and it's the best shaped cobra roll I've ridden. I don't mind that it makes it to 10 inversions with the gimmicky rolls, they're quite funny. I didn't find it particularly rough or rattly, but the restraints are uncomfortable.

Theming

Pretty standard kids' ride with good scenery.

Fun Duration

The Dragon is a fun ride. Would be absolutely incredible for kids. Leaves a bit to be desired for enthusiasts though.

Theming Comfort Smoothness

Great kids' ride. Comfortable and smooth. Thomas Land is very well done.

Inversions Fun Too short

I love the zero G roll on this, especially in the back left seat. Fun ride.

Location Fun Layout

This is a great ride. Flying above the forest and the midway is a great feeling. The dive into the tunnel and the sharp turn with the swinging car was great fun.

Theming Fun

Would be an incredible coaster for a young kid. Brilliant theme with moving elements and some great effects to it.

Airtimes Theming Fun Dead spots

You can get some good airtime on the drops. Fun coaster but it's a pretty standard steel wild mouse. Decently well themed.

Pace Fun Layout

I find this better than spinball whizzer. The drop and the turnaround element on this are so good. The rest of the ride continues to deliver right until the final brakes.

Nice surprise! Fun Intensity

My ride on this was absolutely incredible. I have ridden way too many spinning wild mouses in my time, but this is definitely the best one. It ran with no trims and was absolutely relentless with four of us in the car.

Discomfort Pointless Dead spots

The worst "coaster" I have ridden to date. The entire ride is an uncomfortable pointless dead spot. I didn't even bother with the other two credits, and that's rare for me.

Nice surprise! Harness Ejectors

I don't think a ride has ever surprised me as much as Revolution. You get absolutely yeeted out of your seat on the drops, and the restraint is so loose. The loop backwards is a strange but enjoyable experience.

Comfort Fun Airtimes

I don't think I've ever sat in a more comfortable coaster seat, it's like a living room couch. This ride would be absolutely brilliant if it just ran a tiny bit faster. It was so close to having airtime I could almost touch it, but it failed to properly deliver. Worth riding nonetheless.

Layout Headbanging Harness Discomfort

I couldn't bring myself to enjoy this ride. A great layout ruined by build quality.

Capacity Layout Duration Disappointing! Dead spots Intensity

Icon is a brilliantly designed coaster that is very re-rideable. It lasts a decent while and some of the elements are incredibly well shaped, including the top hat, roll, and especially the immelman. I don't find the first launch as bad as some people say it is. I can't rate Icon up there with the best coasters in the world because it lacks in what I like to call '"Oh S***" moments' (Moments that make me go "Oh S***"). It's a very fun ride, but I don't find it particularly thrilling at all. It's certainly the best coaster I've ridden that has a lack of thrilling elements to it. Mack's quality is on show here, and frankly I think they did an excellent job designing such a quality ride on such a restrictive job site.

Airtimes Fun Duration Discomfort

The first time I rode this I could not believe the airtime. The ride also goes on for ages and it never gives up until the brakes. I think the right side just beats the left side. Avoid the wheel seats if you want a more comfortable ride.

Airtimes Fun Duration Discomfort

First Drop Fun Duration Disappointing!

The Big One is hilarious fun. Usually there isn't much in the way of airtime unless you get it on a really good day. It just baffles me why they profiled the airtime hills the way they did. The straight track really kills the chances of this ride being as good as it could have been. The suspense up the lift hill and the janky drop are great fun.

Airtimes Lap Bar Fun

Nothing really compares with this ride apart from Grand National. The floater airtime with a loose restraint is always a blast.

Theming Nice surprise! Pace

This ride surprised the heck out of me, the transitions as you get to the fastest part of the ride are insane. Let's not forget how great the station theme is.

Airtimes Theming Fun

The theme to this ride is incredibly well done. On a good day there are some great pops of airtime throughout the layout. My biggest gripe is the assigned seating making it impossible to choose a back row ride except by chance.

Location Fun Smoothness Disappointing!

Zooming through the forest on this is great fun. The drop track is a great novelty to scare people who don't know it's there, but I'm always left wishing that the drop section was taller.

Fun Dead spots

Enjoyable ride, but I honestly think Dragon's fury at Chessington is better.

Inversions Masterpiece Layout Discomfort

Deserves nothing less than 5 stars. It somehow manages to have 14 inversions yet never get boring. It's relentless from start to finish. I absolutely love the rolled drops, airtime hills, the sea serpent roll, and the two consecutive rolls towards the end. Right now I can't pick between this and Nemesis as my favourite UK rides, maybe one day I'll resolve it. It can sometimes be uncomfortable, but for me that doesn't detract from the experience at all. My last ride on it was butter smooth apart from the infamous bump at the cobra roll.
